ABOUT THE BOOK
The sheriff's son, Kellan Turner, is not the golden boy everyone thinks he is, and Romy Grey knows that for a fact. Because no one wants to believe a girl from the wrong side of town, the truth about him has cost her everything-friends, family, and her community. Branded a liar and bullied relentlessly by a group of kids she used to hang out with, Romy's only refuge is the diner where she works outside of town. No one knows her name or her past there; she can finally be anonymous. But when a girl with ties to both Romy and Kellan goes missing after a party, and news of him assaulting another girl in a town close by gets out, Romy must decide whether she wants to fight or carry the burden of knowing more girls could get hurt if she doesn't speak up. Nobody believed her the first time-and they certainly won't now-but the cost of her silence might be more than she can bear.

With a shocking conclusion and writing that will absolutely knock you out, All the Rage examines the shame and silence inflicted upon young women in a culture that refuses to protect them.

It is hard to listen to the news when hearing of another girl being raped, but it is even more difficult learning that there were people witnessing this taking place and not doing anything to stop it. Ladies need to be careful of the people they call friends because true friends don't leave you alone when you are intoxicated like in the case of the young girl in Florida who was gang raped while people watched.

I think that instead of being judgmental we need to better educate both women and men. Books like these are good because not everyone feels comfortable talking about it. I hope that in the near future we as a society see less of these horrible events. Thank you for writing this novel.

I think books like these are so important because they make us think about heavy issues, things you usually don't put much thought in because "it always happens to someone else". I really need to read this book, after I read "Speak" I started seeing life in a totally different way, and I have a feeling that this book is gonna do the same!
